Sales Approach: Knowing your client and what they desire is an important part of being a travel adviser. Recently, a client called about a special they saw on Hawaii on a different cruise line, but I knew that they would not be happy if we booked that trip. I took the time to explain to my client the value of a Paul Gauguin Cruise, and how the size of the ship and crew to passenger ratio would mean a much better experience for them. We compared itineraries and amenities and by the end, my client realized that Paul Gauguin was not only a better match for them, but a better value as well.
